Goodrich Showcases Advanced Defense and Helicopter Technology

at AUSA Annual Convention

Products enhance safety, performance and affordability for Army, National Guard

Charlotte, N.C. - Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) will display an array of advanced technology for the U.S. Army and National Guard at the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) annual meeting, Oct. 10-12, 2011 in Washington, D.C.

AUSA visitors may view how advanced laser warning systems enhance helicopter survivability by detecting rangefinders, target designators and beamrider laser-aided systems. Currently used on U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache helicopters, these affordable systems provide visual and audio alerts to the helicopter crew through onboard avionics.

Shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensor systems as well as gyro-stabilized camera gimbals will be a key feature of the Goodrich exhibit. These intelligence systems provide helicopter crews and unmanned vehicles the ability to see through smoke, fog and dust in a very compact and lightweight package.

Also on display will be electronic engine controls, currently in production to upgrade CH-47 and UH-60 helicopter engines for the U.S. Army and National Guard.
